About this product

Cephalotaxus harringtonia Fastigiata, or Japanese Plum Yew, is a striking evergreen specimen that looks like an odd version of our native Taxus baccata Fastigiata.

Its leaves are bigger, and its growth is more vigorous. It is a great plant where space is restricted. It is also tolerant of shade.

Cephalotaxus harringtonia Fastigiata is a striking plant that thrives on free-draining, lighter soils. 

Easily maintained by pruning, it’s an excellent plant for a small garden.

Mature height: 3-7m
